Clyde’s Corner | May 2026

Welcome to Clyde's Corner

May, the month of sunshine, blooming flowers, and endless possibilities

Needing some prayers? We got you! If you would like our Big Red Barn Prayer Team to pray for something specific, you can submit prayer requests here! Remember no prayer is too big for our God and with community in prayer, anything is possible

Monthly Updates:

 

• Teacher Appreciation Week
  • It’s  time to celebrate YOU! Parents will be treating you all week long with breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. We’ll also have thank-you cards available each day so you can spread the appreciation. We are so lucky to have such a dedicated, amazing team—and we can’t wait to show you just how much you’re valued!
• Laundry Room 
  • Please make sure to turn off the water and hose after each use when filling buckets. Thank you for helping keep our space safe and running smoothly!
• Outdoor Protection
  •  We love our outdoor time and will continue to go outside as long as we are within regulations:
    • When temperatures are 90–95°F, we will limit outdoor time to 15 minutes.
    • When temperatures are above 95°F, we will not go outside.
  • Children who wear a sun hat, we are suggesting to parents to provide hats that do not have straps for safety purposes.
  • We apply sunscreen 15 minutes before each outdoor activity. Licensing requirements mandate that sunscreen be applied 15 minutes prior to going outside, regardless of the weather—rain or shine.
  • If children remain outside for longer than two hours, sunscreen must be reapplied at the two-hour mark from the initial application.
• Parent Teacher Conference
  • Conferences are coming up at the end of May! Jenny will be checking portfolios weekly to help keep everyone on track. Need support? We’re here for you—just ask!
• Lesson Plans in Playground 
  • You’ve all been trained—now it’s go time!
    • Lesson plans are due by the 3rd Wednesday of each month (for the upcoming month)
    •  Plans will be reviewed Thursday mornings so you have time to adjust if needed
    •  Material lists are also due the same day
    • Submit material lists in your classroom GroupMe chat and include dates needed
• Mays Code Word
  • Read for the daily code word! The staff member with the most points at the end of the month wins lunch on us!

• Time Management
  • One-on-ones have officially started—let’s stay on track!

    • Points are also deducted for calling in or if your name is associated with any sort of drama or negativity within the facility
